Well I was walkin' down the street yeah, when I met a little girl yeah,
I said I think I like you, she said I think I like you better.
She bid me meet her parents, I was quite apprehensive.
But then I did comply her, I shoulda have denied her.
She wanted me to stay, but I had to walk away.
She wanted me to stay, but I had to walk away.
Don't you say forever "I may not be here 'til the end."
If we're not together, at least we could still be friends.
I met her in the kitchen, the dinner she was fixing,
Her father did not like me, he scowled just to spite me.
We sat down at the table, I passed the salt and pepper,
She bid me pass the mustard, but instead I spilled my drink.
She wanted me to stay, but I had to run away.
She wanted me to stay, but I had to run away.
I saw her 3 months later, she had a brand new friend,
He tried to educate her on all the latest trends.
I said I am so sorry she did not understand,
You've changed life for the better, she tried to make a stand.
I wanted you to stay, but instead you ran away.
I wanted you to stay, but instead you walked away.
Don't you say forever "I may not be here 'til the end."
If we're not together, at least we could still be friends.
She wrote me a long letter, she had a brand new reason,
Just after I had left her, she was thrown in prison.
If I had not left her we'd still be together,
She still regrets the day I decided not to say.
She still regrets the day I decided not to stay,
She still regrets the day that I turned and walked away.
